HIDs are still superior for driving condtions imo. LEDs have greater lumens but their projection travel is significantly less than their HID counterparts.

one of the reasons i don’t like LEDs as much is because of the kelvin. i’ve never seen an LED with less than 6000k. funny thing is, people confuse the kelvin with lumens.

​@@elaztecapecadorI personally love the Kelvin, makes it look futuristic and fresh.

1 of my original hid bulbs started going bad and had them replaced with oem style hids. Now I'm regretting my decision. I think I should have went with some osram bulbs or even looked into leds. The replacement bulbs looked brighter the first few drives, and now they don't seem as powerful. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could upgrade to? I have a 2011 Toyota Avalon limited.

updated link??

Do crz next

Bought the Oscram Nightbreakers($200) for my Audi Q5, returned it and purchsed a 6000k LED bulbs for $80 and i love them so much more than the Oscrams. The oscram was slightly better than the OEM HiD bulbs, where as the LED was significantly brighter and i could see so much more. I love the LEDs. I still dont understand why people swear HIDs are better. All of bright lights on the roads are LEDs, not HIDs lmao.

​@@23ButanedioneBullshit excuse. "m3D1uM l1GhT 15 b35T" my ass! You don't even recognize that by having a MUCH brighter peak luminance, you can easily just turn it down to lower levels that you consider to be "best." You can achieve all of that while consuming FAR less power than a similar brightness HID light. All of these "Kelvin" crap are all just made-up bullshit nitpicks to try and justify the inferiority of HIDs in every possible way. You must heavily rely on that "color temperature" shit because that's ARGUABLY the only thing left that's better than LEDs.

HID is brighter than LED, that is why. They project further than LEDs do, plus the projectors are designed for an HID bulb. You can tell the LED bulbs lack the hot spot in the center like the HID bulbs do. You want this for good downroad illumination.

LED lights are too Bright. They need to reduce the strength & stop blinding other drivers.

they aren’t. most people who swap their lights to LEDs do so in a car with factory fitted halogens which have a designated light reflector pattern. the LEDs don’t shine where they’re supposed to in the lamp, causing wide spread beam projection. vehicles with projection HIDs or Halogens won’t necessarily have that problem as their lamp reflectors are just one smooth cone that goes round the light itself. the projectors also help focus the light on the designated height and angle of illumination because like i mentioned earlier, the reflection pattern is one smooth mirror-like cone. idk if that makes sense or not but i tried to explain to the best of my ability

I was considering putting LEDs in place of my D1S Nightbreakers using a set of DDM Tuning Sabre 55w V2 bulbs like I have in my foglights, but they are 1200+ LUX vs the 500+ LUX of the Nightbreakers and that seems too bright for my needs so I just left them in the foglights, only....

They only look brighter, I assure you if you actually got a Lux meter you'd see the HID bulbs actually produce more visible light. This is almost an optical illusion. The blue part of your light is the most reflective of all colors (reason why the sky is blue) so the blue color is reflecting back to you making you think the image is brighter, but it's just "bluer" not brighter.

​@Dexion845, if it looks brighter, then the technicalities of it being brighter or not does not matter, as the only thing that matters is if it looks brighter to your eyes or not. In general, LEDs are always much, much brighter than HIDs. But you have to choose the correct LEDs in order to actually have great output and precise projection. For reflectors that are halogen based, it's not a good idea to replace the bulbs with LEDs or even HIDs, as it's much, much more difficult for the light to be directed correctly and not give any lightbleed over the cut off. So, for halogen reflectors, either keeping the halogen bulbs or getting a custom led projector retrofitted to the reflectors is the much safer and better option.

This channel just an advertising platform now

Only recommended for projector headlamps, and AIMED PROPERLY. Many are aimed too high, even from the factory. The beam cut off on the left should be level under hard acceleration, and sloping down when stopped or at consistent speed. People really need to stop putting these in reflector headlamps designed for halogens. LED vs HID... now LED is equal or better in a lot of areas, however HID still has its place, for now. I don't care for all the high color temps though that are common, 6500K, 7000K... way to blue for my taste. My eyes prefer right around 4700K to 5000K.

Anybody know how to convert from Hid too LED

On the amazon you can LED with HID sockets. Search for D3S LED bulb or similar (Replace D3S with your HID socket). Its 1:1 without any changes to your car.

HID is more suitable for projectors LEDs are not so great with projectors because the bulb it self does havd dark shadow insode When using projectors you don't want any dark spots in the bulb you need a 360 lightning bulb in order to avoid those dark spots

If you put hids in a car that has halogen in a projector , putting hids in it are going to be really lame . Hids in reflectors although blind people would destroy leds . Leds don't spread light evenly it's got over saturated Hotspots unless you buy stupid expensive leds like 150 and up is ridiculous for a light bulb.

Halogen is best

Fck. That, ill stick with halogen, cheaper and works well

LED headlights should be illegal

You should educate yourself a little more before jumping to that conclusion. Let me help you add some knowledge to that void of yours: An improperly adjusted headlight, whether halogen, HID, or LED, will always blind you. Think of someone driving with high beams on. Do you really think the high beams are a stronger form of bulb? It’s the same bulb, regardless of type, that is adjusted to be higher.

@@elephoontoftheshanpes8103 it's because a lot of carmakers do not properly aim the low-beams on their vehicles equipped with LED lights. I constantly see new SUV's and Pickups especially with low beams hitting road signs while they're driving on a flat surface. OEM LED color is 5700K color temp, which is white with a violet hue. Behind our windshields that becomes blue due to the charcoal tint on factory windshields. That blue light is naturally irritating to the human eye due to it being the wavelength with tho most energy.
